Photographer's Note

A short series of pictures during a visit to Bang Pa-in palace in Thailand, some 33 miles (55 kilometres) north of the capital Bangkok.

Here is some information from Wikipedea:

Bang Pa-In Royal Palace, also known as the Summer Palace, is a palace complex formerly used by the Thai kings. The palace is located on the Chao Phraya River bank in Bang Pa-In district, Ayutthaya Province

King Prasat Thong originally constructed the complex in 1632, and though it lay empty and overgrown throughout the late 18th and early 19th centuries, King Mongkut began to restore the site in the mid-19th century. Most of the present buildings were constructed between 1872 and 1889 by King Chulalongkorn.

The facilities include vast gardens and landscaping, Wehart Chamrunt (Heavenly Light), a Chinese-style royal palace and throne room; the Warophat Phiman (Excellent and Shining Heavenly Abode), a royal residence; Ho Withun Thasana (Sages' Lookout), a brightly painted lookout tower; and the Aisawan Thiphya-Art (Divine Seat of Personal Freedom), a pavilion constructed in the middle of a pond.

The palace and grounds are largely open to visitors, as King Bhumibol Adulyadej and his family use it only rarely for banquets and special occasions.

Your compositione works so well, the f/g uprights and the converging lines of the bridge, guiding gently towards the flowers and the half-hidden palace. The whole picture paints a mood of warm, relaxed exploration.

The length of the bridge is giving depth to the composition. The trees are framing well the bridge. The presence of the people has an effect of scale. The good luminosity is giving nice trints to the colours. Have a nice day.

A very pleasant & picturesque scene - I like the group of visitors at the end of the bridge '' all discussing how beautiful the gardens are... your capture of the beautiful young woman is also very nice '' maybe she was waiting for you?? ha!
